Exquisite Branch	Kamo	The exquisite corpse is a multiplayer game invented by the surrealists in which the participants compose a drawing or a story together. Traditionally the game is played on a long sheet of paper, and each player draws a part. The process requires to hide the drawing to the next person, but leaving them some hints to continue. The following fellow keeps draw from there and so on. The result is a weird linear narrative, in which the transition between authors are at the same time smooth and abrupt. The Exquisite Branch is an online take on the game. It questions concepts such as authorship and collaboration in the light of the digital age. The original version is constrained to the single piece of paper and is doomed to be linear. Here we can imagine our drawings forking and branching and go in different directions. The way in which XB works recall the flows of a protocol like Git. Instruction There are 2 ways to get to the XB either you navigate to https://hub.xpub.nl/soupboat/xquisite or you receive a link from someone pointing to a specific branch you can either start a new drawing, continue from the last contribuition or view all the branches then it's time to scribble something or paint a masterpiece and when you are done you can submit the drawing you will receive a new link to share with others. They will continue from your drawing, so leave some hints! If you pass the link to just one person the xquisite drawing will continue linearly but if you pass it to several people it will branch resulting in multiple version with a common starting point.
